First Steps

After my research I wanted to build a garment that was changeable in appearance as well as having a screen output. My solution is a skirt that the design on the front can be changed dependent on mood. I will incorporate my keyboard hack into my garment so I can play a different movie depending on which panel is at the front at the time.

I have gone for a design that goes outside the realm of usual clothing materials. I have a series of rigid panels that symbolise the 6 major emotions surprise, sadness, love, fear, fear and joy (from left to right in the below photo.)



To allow the panels at the front to be changed at will I had to devise a way to rotate the panels at will. To do this I bent a flexible curtain rail into a circle, the runners on rail will attach the panels to the track while the wall mounts will join the track to a belt to allow it to be worn.
